This was my home at 544 Liberty Ave in Jersey City while I was in first and second grade in 1970-71. We moved there so my father could be closer to work at Eagle Beef on Central Ave. Humble beginnings.

Any philanthropists out there that would like to help fund a foundation named in honor of Engelbertha Krupp? The foundation would help lower homelessness and domestic abuse of women in Jersey City, NJ where my great-grandmother immigrated to. These were issues that my great-grandmother experienced. First quote for a website came in between $2,500 and $3,500. Her brother Friedrich Krupp inherited a multi-billion dollar steel firm in 1887. She did not. This will her hers, something with her name on it 🙂 Thank you all.

The 1884 Jersey City home of John and Engelbertha Stroebele at 24 Beacon Ave in Jersey City as it appears in 2018. This is the second home the couple lived in since their emigration from Sigmaringen in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany.

Each year on Veterans Day, we pause to remember the 31 descendents through blood and marriage of Engelbertha Krupp Stroebele, who bravely and selflessly served in the US military thus earning the title of Veteran. Thank you all for your service to the United States of America.
